The Effect of Mobile Lymphedema Self-Care Support Program on Self-Care in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program on self-care, quality of life and symptoms related to lymphedema in women with breast cancer-related lymphedema. H1: There is a difference between the Lymphedema Self-Care Scale mean score in women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer, according to the use of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program. H2: There is a difference between the Lymphedema Quality of Life Scale average score in women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer according to the status of using the mobile lymphedema self-care support program. H4: There is a difference between lymphedema arm circumference measurements according to the use of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program in women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer. H5: In women who develop lymphedema due to breast cancer, there is a difference in the situation of experiencing symptoms related to lymphedema according to the use of the mobile lymphedema self-care support program.

Clinical Trial Description

The content of the mobile program was developed by the researchers. The mobile lymphedema self-care support program content was reviewed by an expert group consisting of doctors, physiotherapists and nurses working with patients with lymphedema. Patients will be contacted via telephone and will be informed about the study, and the experimental and control groups will be selected through the randomization program among the patients who agree to participate in the study and meet the sampling inclusion criteria. Patients were blinded, and blindness will be achieved in the data analysing stage. All measurements will be made to the experimental and control groups at the same time. The standard lymphedema self-care training will be given to the experimental and the control group. And the experimental group will be educated on how to use the mobile program. When the study is completed, the control group will also be allowed to use the mobile program. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
